You stripped out an important sentence of my response in your
quote:
"This seems to unfairly prefer one set of compiler vendors over another."
It is unfair to say that GCC will make this accomodation only for
the C++ ABI and only for a vendor whose own C++ ABI happens to be similar
to G++'s ABI. Defining the rules so that it only encompasses this one
case creates a bias in GCC development.
